As We Live And Breathe - Steve Forbert

They say hope it springs eternal in a young man’s breast

And every time you turn around

They’re puttin' it to the test

And it’s stand up to your letdowns, boy

And take 'em on the chin

Gotta hold your head up high above the water rushin' in

See the monsters in their madness

Doing their evil everywhere

Now they’ve trapped another angel on the rooftop up the stairs

Said it takes all kinds, well, listen, man, it don’t

But they’re all here

And we gotta live with livin'

Gotta live with livin' fear…

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

Somehow, we must believe

Hear the figure at the fountain tell you things about yourself

That you’ve never said a word about to anybody else

Go and listen to the woman singing sweetly in your room

Feel that kickin' little baby moving restless in her womb…

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

Somebody must believe

Yeah…

Take a look at all the detail in a single little thing

Just a single little snowflake or a tiny insect wing

Tell me who could make the clouds

And make 'em move across the sky?

Who could make your mind

And put it here to wonder why?

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

As we live and breathe (as we live and breathe)

We know we must believe

All right
